For many people, the idea that black people don't commit crimes at a higher rate than others goes against their every-day experience in the USA.

Maybe your response is ironic: I genuinely can't tell. But clearly "my every-day experience justifies my actions regardless of the facts about (my view)" is not a fair rebuttal, because anyone can make that claim about anything.
I don't want to dismiss what she experienced and how upsetting it must have been, but "she received death threats" covers a lot of ground.

Apparently lots of people make internet death threats all the time. Every single case like this mentions death threats. I don't think these death threats are in general credible. Clearly at least some of them are made by people who just join in with and escalate online arguments for amusement. I assume at least some of them are made by people hoping to 'discredit the other side'.

The correct answer is "we don't know"

That's right. And that is the moment when science has to give place to beliefs. Everyone can have different. Some poeple none at all. For a person who wants to find a bridge between science and religion, this model may be good.
I agree with this. I wrote a script that will focus my most commonly used windows with keyboard shortcuts. Super+F for Firefox, Super+T for terminal, Super+S for Spotify, and so on. Between this, vim, Surfing Keys for Firefox, and just an interest in learning keyboard shortcuts I have mostly eliminated the mouse. I still use it when it's the right tool for the job, but I can get by with far less mousing these days.
Maybe it is so with the monopolized ( or duopolized if we consider Samsung) foundry today. I visited Global Foundries just before they stopped investing in smaller nodes ( and Infineon which was nearby). Listening to the profits they made and the problems they had ( and my own experiences), I realised that the complete business flow for chip manufacturing is flawed somewhere. I did not have enough motivation to look into detail at that time.

Of course, most of the big foundries would still be open, if the profits were anywhere more than 10%.
I like it! The huge selection and tens of showrooms are really cool. I especially like their "whole apartment" demos, like maximizing use out of a small apartment without making it cramped.

It's definitely not for everyone, my sister hates the "gauntlet" (as someone else here called it) and how busy it gets.

I post about music on my Twitter. Tech stuff here. Instagram for my hobby photography. Facebook itself is long gone. And all for the reasons you’ve stated. I use none of them particularly often.

I’m as left as they come, but I don’t trust that the winds won’t change or I will make a stupid decision, and my future is too important to risk that. And honestly I’m not missing much. If I want to talk politics, I do it with my friends over a beer.
Zstd is very different - it includes an entropy coder.
LZ4 only finds repeated matches, but then doesn't encode them very efficiently.

To put it simplistically, if you have a file which is a (good) random mix of an equal number A and B characters, LZ4 won't be able to compress it significantly, while Zstd will compress it 8:1 converging to an encoding where a '1' bit is A, and a '0' bit is B.

Some beliefs feel abstract enough that the answer to "what evidence would make me change my mind?" just conjures question marks.

If I believe that "it is good to reduce net human suffering so others can live fulfilling lives" I'm not sure what evidence there is to give to refute. Some beliefs are "it should" rather than "it is" and in those cases it feels like they fail the crony belief sniff test just as a category.
Newsweek was a bastion of print media for decades in the US. It would be similar to someone turning the BBC into a Christian news organization.

The organization that took over Newsweek did it with the intention to improve their own credibility by banking on the name, while removing all the people and processes that built that credibility in the first place. If it’s not an outright scam it’s certainly approaching it.

I’m not sure that I’d call the reaction to Bergstrom a debacle. Here are a couple of quotes from the excerpt that made everyone angry:

“It’s a novel with a teenage heroine set in a dystopian future. Which novel in particular doesn’t matter because they’re all the same. Poor teenage heroine, having to go to war when all you really want is to write in your diary about how you’re in love with two different guys and can’t decide between them. These novels are cheesy, I know, and I suck them down as easily as milk.”

“They love this—the school uniform, the flash of seventeen-year-old legs.”

The first quote is a pretty direct attack at the Hunger Games. HG has a rabid following so that was risky. The second is just godawful writing. He still would have been okay but he went a little too far mocking the amount of talent needed to write YA.

Scooter Braun recently learned a lesson about screwing with media that rabid young adults identify with. It’s a bad idea, but if you’re going to do it, bring better prose. Or at least accept that the genre’s bestsellers are way better at the internet than you are.
There are a lot of other innovations possible, but the business flow for hardware manufacturing does not have the right motivations. I personally think that Apple is doing the right things on several levels.

I’m not familiar and it’s a complex topic. My knowledge comes from following the reforms in China and picking up bits and pieces of history. The overarching impression I’ve gotten is that a lot of ideas you can think of have been tried before in some capacity.

The USSR had a Ministry of Medical Industry and I think Japan might have gone with a bounty model? You can probably find more info.

Where everything falls over is that it’s just such a long journey from point A to B, where A is “a chemist has found something” and B is “an entire patient population is taking the drug.” There are a lot more steps than you’d think, and any alternative system needs to do well at each step due to the wildly varying incentives between participants.

As a toy thought experiment not based on real-world events, suppose the government has just paid a $500 million bounty for new Drug X that otherwise wouldn’t have been developed. The government now owns Drug X. Okay, great. But doctors aren’t prescribing it. So the government creates a Ministry for Doctor Education that tells clinicians what to prescribe. But the Ministry for Doctor Education develops its own goals and forgets that it’s supposed to help out the pharma bounty program in marketing new drugs. In the meantime, the government is outbid in manufacturing Drug X, and its contracted manufacturers are exporting Drug X overseas, so the government nationalizes the manufacturers. But then the manufacturers forget that they’re supposed to work on novel drugs and decide only to take on low-risk work. Etc. etc.

It just empirically works to have a tech transfer model where a set of entities gets rich by taking a drug on the entire journey into the bodies of thousands/millions of patients.
Considering the likelihood of success in starting an electric car company and a rocket company, I'm pretty sure Musk did not mind investing, not just his money, but his time, in making everyone, on the whole, more prosperous.
Someone interesting solely in making money would probably have chosen other ventures.

Giving their money away to make everyone on Earth rich would not work , but if it did, I think it likely that they would. First off, either one of them could likely start from zero and end up wealthy again. Also, their wealth is tied up in their ventures, and those ventures are the wealth they are providing, although I understand that not eveyone will see them as beneficial. I don't particularly see Amazon as a net benefit necessarily.

I don't think they are that different in mindset from Bill Gates, and he seems intent on giving away his money in the most efficacious way he can find.
It should be noted that this is a wrapper around React Native.[1] I am a bit in doubt if one can use Vue Native knowing only Vue and never having to learn any React.

Consider that you're not necessarily building from raw materials, you will be repurposing things you find around. Finding an alternator probably won't be a problem in the populated areas of USA but might be elsewhere - thankfully building it is still sufficiently simple.
Not exactly the implementation you described but Kotlin Multiplatform is targeting this workflow. Shared business logic in Kotlin and Native UI on each platform. You can currently compile to iOS/Android/Web and Desktops. I imagine the could support wasm at some point too.

Good point - your job may be at risk if they discover it takes you more than 4 hours a day to get it done...

What noone has mentioned is that the reason people get away with 3 hour days is it's too hard to fire them. Bottom line is those who get more done work for those other employees (I can only wish my colleagues exploited me as much (but not more) as my employer).
Some just leave and go to a startup where there's no BS and worklplace socialism.
Why not? You'd likely not need IraqWarII levels of commitment - just a few enthusiastically-delivered missives at 1100kph to get the message across. A few loitering drones and a few dozen more missiles might actually be a highly efficient use of resources. I'm not sure where 'intelligence' comes into play here, beyond condescension of an idea you evidently disagree with.
why it is not an objective list of facts? To me it sounds quite objective, it answers all five W, exposes the facts chronologically and it even showed compromise to show the side of the company firing:

Gotta say that isn’t that much land, I’ve been looking at land with a couple friends. I can get 1,000 acres of land with lumber for probably $800-$2000 per acre. Really depends where, just saying 11,000 acres really isn’t much.

Cable management and requirement of power are not my cup of tea. Nor is a 24/7 requirement of internet connectivity. I would instead only manually sync time (with a button), or once a day at (what it believes is) 3 AM. User replaceable battery is also a big plus. Thing is, we already got all these features in 'dumb' clocks.
Don't I know it. On the other hand, see the part about "if there were enough of those" ;-).

Curious to know whether anyone uses QWERTY on the Kinesis Adv. I've tried switching to it a number of times (from a standard 87key board), even getting unto >60wpm consistently, but its use in terminal sessions was always frustrating. Not being able to type "cd" with the index and middle finger of the left hand means I always felt super slow in the terminal.

Should I have persevered? Is this a typical frustration of moving to a split ortholinear layout board using QWERTY?

Fair enough. I haven't considered regulatory impact. On top of that, I wasn't thinking about pharma, or a lot of formulated products.

That said, setting aside the regulatory burden, from the little insight into the internals of chemical processing I had, there may be larger costs in designing and tuning the "build pipeline" (all the coolers, valves, reactors, etc.) than in designing the formula itself. That's just a consequence of scaling up being expensive where your production involves manipulating matter.

Not sure how LZ4 compares but what convinced me to use brotli over some other compression libraries was how trivialy easy it was to integrate in C++ as well as in javascript. No effort at all. I wish more lib providers would make their things so approachable.

Trees are part of a closed cycle: eventually they burn or are decomposed biologically (fungi and animals). As far as I know, all the high quality fossil reservoirs we excavate have been accumulated in an exceptional era when the biological defense mechanisms of trees happened to have so much of an upper hand over all potential decompositors that their corpses basically stayed around forever. Imagine a C heap when for a while free() is a noop... (it has been fixed for quite a while now).

The closest thing we have today to those "eternal tree corpses" are peat bogs were decomposition is kind of broken even today (and guess who discovered that dried up peat can burn, even if it's a very dirty fire? Humans. We just love oxydating carbons).

Sure, but including state ownership skews the metrics. Is there any country where the government/state isn't the biggest owner of forests? Applying the same idea to the US puts the US government at the top with 31.1% of forests[1] even though 35.5% is collectively owned by families.

Ah, brilliant! Thanks for pointing that out to me (and for uBO).
In broad strokes, Ikea furniture holds up well as long as the humidity and UV is low'ish. Don't leave it out in the open weather, let it get water-laden with humidity, or sit directly exposed to the sun anywhere, and the glues holding it together will generally last their lifecycle (about a decade or two), possibly longer if in an especially well-cared for environment.

With some practice, West System epoxy, filler and fiber glass can easily repair chips and chunks. It helps that I'm not fastidious about aesthetics, so lacking the laminate on top after a repair suits me. The little bits are more challenging to source if Ikea has stopped manufacturing or supplying them. I'm hoping 3D metrology and printing can help with that, so waste from people tossing out old furniture for want of a small part nearly goes away.

YMMV.
1/3 of tech workers admit to working 3 to 4 hours, while 2/3 of tech workers admit to sucking at tech work. Leaving less than 10% who know what they're doing and working full days doing the real tech work. Just ask any company.
I used this about a year ago for a small astrophysics simulation+plotting etc, together with futhark for some GPU code. It wasn't perfect (some crashes and weird behaviour), but worked remarkably well. I imagine it's even better today.

It was really useful to have easy acces to the simulation code and datastructures from the notebook where I made the plots, and use the same language for both. Glad to see the project still going strong.
I had the Toshiba DVD player with Nuon. It also supported HDCD music. They were regular CDs that could be played in any CD player but in an HDCD device there and it supposedly sounded better. I never had any Nuon content but I did have a single HDCD disc and an extra light would show up when I played that.

I tried the Anker Vertical Mouse, the Logitech Vertical, the Evoluent VerticalMouse 4, the Logitech Ergo (trackball), and Logitech M370 (trackball).

In the end my favorite is the Logitech Ergo with the "Plus" stand. The version that includes the stand is only sold in the US so I imported 2 of them. I got rid of all the others.

Sorry, what?

IKEA can be repaired by any competent cabinet maker. IKEA doesn't use anything fancy and weird, all their stuff is standard or a slightly variation of standard and could easily be replaced by a standard one. In fact most of the IKEA stuff is so popular it has become standard.

IKEA sells both particleboard & veneer for their cheap/budget friendly stuff and hard pine/other wood for more expensive stuff.

You can't have cheap and solid wood, it's just too expensive.

Go down to the local wood shop and buy all the wood you need to make a sideboard and tell me how much it will cost. Certainly will be leagues higher then buying a particleboard & veneer version of the same thing.

Including overhead I am well over 12 hours/day but pure coding... Really depends on how many times people disturb me with 'stuff'.

I have worked with many freelancers and worked (as tech consultant) in many big and small businesses; a lot of capable tech people, in my experience, vastly understate the time they actually work. When they are in meetings, all day, they feel they didn't work and report hours accordingly. I have to point out to them regularly that even though they reported 3 hours, I was in meetings with them for 6 (and yes, I find that generally quite pointless so I understand the sentiment), so I think it's closer to 8-9 hours.

> You really need to know the sensor size to adjust accordingly.

Absolutely. Focus length without sensor size (or film size) is a meaningless indicator for FOV.

But when it comes to a FOV being equivalent to the human eye, surely we should take display size into account as well. A photo made with a 500mm lens displayed at 4"x6" has exactly the same perspective as a photo taken from the same place with a 50m lens, displayed at 40"x60". In fact that small picture is basically the same as the large one cropped to the size of the small one.

It's a factor I never see mentioned. The usual explanation is that a "normal" lens gives more or less the same image when we look through the viewfinder as when we look directly, without the camera. But we don't look at photographs through a camera's viewfinder; we see them on our screens, on billboards, on prints.
